Hey guys,

Version 2.5 of the PS4 Media Player is released today to coincide with the release of PlayStation VR, and with it comes the ability to enjoy 360-degree images and videos captured with omnidirectional cameras on your PS VR headset.

To do this, when you're viewing a 360-degree image or video in the Media Player app (this must be in equirectangular file format), press the OPTIONS button on your DS4, then select [VR Mode].

Alongside this, version 2.5 of the PS4 Media Player now supports high-resolution audio (FLAC) playback.

You can find out more about Media Player v2.5 and 360-degree media over at the PlayStation Blog.

I've updated to v3.0 Media Player. VR Kit is plugged in and turned on. When I press the Option button, I don't have a VR option as pictured in this post. Do you need to be playing a compatible VR video before the option will appear, or does it still appear when watching any videos?

My video files are h.264 MP4, they were recorded on a Keymission 360 camera. I'm not sure if this is an 'Omni-directional camera' or if it records in equirectangular file format? The camera has 2x 190 degree lens and it stitches the video together inside the camera, without needing post-processing. The 360 metadata is automatically embedded on the recording by the camera.

I've tried to play a raw .MP4 file from the camera, without any post processing. File info (4,089MB, 3840x2160 AVC). But it fails to even play in the media player at all, not even on the TV.

I've also exported the Keymission video at a low res, h.264 using Adobe Premiere. The video works in full 360 when uploaded to YouTube and Facebook, but again no joy using PS Media Player. There is not VR option.

If the file format I'm using is incompatible, would you have any ideas on the correct settings for exporting through Premiere?

If someone can read this, can you please pass this Sony PS VR or whatever who design and program the controls in PS VR. I just want to share my knowledge on how to resolve the "Teleport and Dash" issue in PS VR. If they want to know more, they can reach me in my PS profile or my email "jctorpe@yahoo.com". Thank you.

PS: Literally, I don't want anything I just want to play and buy PS VR.
